It has been reported that there is a crystal stowaway on the Swarovski Crystal Journey! Fortunately, the stowaway is a Swarovski Masterpiece, and not something unpleasant.

So, what exactly is the stowaway? It is a Swarovski Pointiage Swan. This swan is approximately 16.5 cm in length, 10.5 cm high, and weights about 1.215 grams.

Besides the size, and roaming locations of the Pointiage Swan, here are some other facts we have on it. The Swarovski Pointiage Swan is a Limited Edition of 25 units. More than 33,350 stones were used to assemble it, which commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Swarovski SCS Club. The designer of this Masterpiece Swan is Anton Hirzinger.

This Swarovski Swan is being auctioned off at the end of the Swarovski Crystal Journey. The minimum bid is 4,000 Euro, which is approximately $5,025 USD.

It will be interesting to find out the winning bid (if it sells). Hopefully we will get that information at the conclusion of the trip. Best of luck to all Swarovski crystal fanatics who participate in the bidding!

Hopefully, we can get a few more pictures and information from the final hours of the 2012 Crystal Journey.

Be sure to check the Kristall Buzz frequently for the duration of the week-long cruise for a brief digest of what is happening on the Swarovski Crystal Journey!
